Abstract
- [Display omitted] • We design a visual sensor array based on PtNi NWs-TMB-H 2 O 2 system at three pH values. • PtNi NWs show good peroxidase-like activity due to synergistic catalytic effect of Pt and Ni. • The adsorption of S from different thiophenes on PtNi NWs led to varying peroxidase-like activities. • The color variances serve as array's "fingerprints" to recognize six thiophenes at 1 µM. Electronic tongue capable of identifying thiophene compounds can promote early-stage environmental pollution monitoring and assist in environmental governance. Herein, a pH-modulated colorimetric sensor array based on PtNi nanowires (NWs) with peroxidase-like activity is designed for discrimination of thiophene compounds. The simplicity of the construction of this sensor array lies in the fact that it is composed of only one nanomaterial-3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H 2 O 2 system at three different pH values, which largely simplifies the programmatic design of the sensor array. Besides, in terms of sensing principle, the adsorption of sulfur from thiophene compounds on PtNi NWs alters the electronic state of their active centers, resulting in different peroxidase-like activities at different pH values. The color variances brought by the changes serve as "fingerprints" to successfully recognize six thiophene compounds as low as 1 µM level. Notably, PtNi NWs show splendid peroxidase-like activity (12.66 U/mg), far outweighing that of Pt NWs (2.62 U/mg), thanks to synergistic catalytic effect of Pt and Ni. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
